If you’re using a OnePlus phone, the next software update might not be too far away. A new rollout timeline for OxygenOS 16.1 has surfaced, and while it’s based on the ColorOS 16.1 schedule in China, it gives a fair idea of how things could play out in India as well.
There’s no official confirmation from OnePlus yet, but if the pattern holds, OxygenOS 16.1 could start rolling out in India sometime in May.
First Phase Could Begin Mid-May
The initial wave is expected to start between May 10 and May 20. This phase mostly includes newer devices across the flagship and Nord lineup.
Here’s the list of devices expected in this window:
- OnePlus 15
- OnePlus 15R
- OnePlus 13 and OnePlus 13s
- OnePlus Nord 6
- OnePlus Pad 3
Second Phase Likely By End Of May
A second batch of devices could start receiving the update between May 21 and May 31. This includes slightly older models and more Nord devices.
Devices expected in this phase:
- OnePlus 13R
- OnePlus 12
- OnePlus Nord 5
- OnePlus Pad 2
What About Other OnePlus Devices?
There are early indications that the remaining OnePlus devices could get the OxygenOS 16.1 update in June. That said, there’s no official confirmation around this yet, so timelines may vary.
What This Means For Users In India
If OnePlus follows its usual rollout strategy, updates will likely be staggered. That means even if your device is on the list, it might take a few days or weeks to reach all users.
Still, this timeline gives a rough idea of when to expect OxygenOS 16.1 on your device in India. For now, it’s best to treat it as an early roadmap rather than a confirmed schedule.
